Everyone remembers the names Uglúk, Grishnákh, Gorbag, and Shagrat; but what other names did Tolkien give his named Orc and Uruk-hai characters?

In Rohan there was Lugdush and in the Tower of Citith Ungol There was Radbug and Snaga, though the latter was probably not a name, but a demeaning epithet, a Snaga was also found in Rohan. In the valley between the Ephel Dúath and the Morgai there were an tracker and soldier, but I think they remained unnamed.

We should be coming up with only Tolkien named Orcs and Uruk-hai in this thread. However if you want to add your own made-up names, feel free to do so as long as you make it clear that they are undocumented fabrications.
